In management research is extensively used in various areas. Research provides a base for your business sound decision - making. There are three parts involved in any of your systematic finding: Implicit question posed, explicit answer proposed and Collection, analysis, and interpretation of the information leading from the question to answer Illustration. “Research comprises of defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions; making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis”.

...Chapter1: Sociological Stories and Key Concepts
Culture: The symbolic and learned aspects of human society. Culture is not biological but, instead, is transmitted and shared via social interaction.
Globalization: A social phenomenon characterized by the growing number of interconnections across the world. Rather than studying society in terms of various nation-states, sociologists today are concerned with multinational and global problems—especially in the face of increasing globalization. Whether globalization is a new phenomenon marking “modern progress” toward becoming “one world,” or simply a new (or even disguised) form of American imperialism, continues to be debated.
Institutions: Patterned sets of linked social practices, such as education, marriage, or the family, that are informed by broader culture, are regularly and continuously repeated, are sanctioned and maintained by social norms, and have a major significance for the social structure.
Issues: Problems extending beyond the individual and local environment. These are institutional in nature and often involve crises in institutional arrangement. The high unemployment rate across the United States is an example of an issue.
Modernity: In sociology, a term referring to the set of historical processes that transformed the traditional order. Early sociologists (specifically, Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Émile Durkheim) set out to understand the social upheaval and disruption...

In today’s modern age where computer has become a way of life, it is evident that a majority of the country’s institutions still do not adapt the high technology.
